IRB Protocol #17-0431 iii Gordon, Constance (Ph.D., Communication) Troubling “Access”: Rhetorical Cartographies of Food (In)Justice and Gentrification Dissertation directed by Professor Phaedra C. Pezzullo ABSTRACT This dissertation explores the rhetorical and spatiotemporal relationships between food politics and gentrification in the contemporary U.S. developing city foodscape. Specifically, I explore a seemingly innocent, yet incredibly powerful key term for the food movement today: “access.” The concern over adequate food access for the food insecure has become a national conversation, as everyone from governments to corporations, non-profits to grassroots advocates, have organized interventions to bring healthy food to those most in need. In rapidly developing cities, however, these politics have become particularly complicated, as new food amenities often index or contribute to gentrification, including the displacement of the very people supposedly targeted for increased food access.

    It Is Time For Congress To Take Action And Reform Our Nation’s Immigration Laws: A Plea From America’s Scholars May 1, 2013 The history of America is a history of immigration. Starting with our country’s founding by idealistic newcomers, the waves of immigrants who settled in the United States have continuously added to our culture and national identity. However, America’s immigration system has become out of step with the social and economic needs of our nation and, therefore, we believe policies must change. As university professors from across the United States, we believe that reforming our immigration laws is both the right thing to do and is in our nation’s best interests. As the community responsible for educating the next generation of Americans, we see the harm that a broken immigration system has had on our students and their families. For immigrant students who have studied and grown up in the U.S., we need to ensure that they have the opportunities to continue their education and settle into their careers in the U.S. Similarly, immigrants with credentials and skills already living in the U.S. should have the opportunity to practice their professions here. The positive effects that immigrant students have on our education system are manifold. Immigrant students contribute to the diversity of our classrooms, which in turn has a positive impact on all students. Diversity has been shown to be positively associated with students’ cognitive development, satisfaction with their educational experience, and leadership skills. We are educating these students in the U.S., but the broken immigration system makes it extremely difficult for students to stay and build a life in this country and for U.S.

    Raise the Minimum Wage He Minimum Wage Has Been an Important Part of Our Tnation’S Economy for 68 Years

    Hundreds of Economists Say: Raise the Minimum Wage he minimum wage has been an important part of our Tnation’s economy for 68 years. It is based on the principle Hard work of valuing work by establishing an hourly wage floor beneath which employers cannot pay their workers. In so doing, the minimum wage helps to equalize the imbalance in bargaining deserves power that low-wage workers face in the labor market. The minimum wage is also an important tool in fighting poverty. fair pay The value of the 1997 increase in the federal minimum wage has been fully eroded. The real value of today’s federal minimum wage is less than it has been since 1951. Moreover, the ratio of the minimum wage to the average hourly wage of non-supervisory workers is 31%, its lowest level since World War II. This decline is causing hardship for low-wage workers and their families. We believe that a modest increase in the minimum wage would improve the well-being of low-wage workers and would not have the adverse effects that critics have claimed. In particular, we share the view the Council of Economic Advisors expressed in the 1999 Economic Report of the President that "the weight of the evidence suggests that modest increases in the minimum wage have had very little or no effect on employment." While controversy about the precise employment effects of the minimum wage continues, research has shown that most of the beneficiaries are adults, most are female, and the vast majority are members of low-income working families.

Open Records Requests Are No Substitute for Transparent Government 9. References Challenges to calculating “clean ups” cost The city refers to the traumatic displacements or sweeps as “clean ups”. Many independent advocacy groups and journalists have inquired into the costs of Denver’s “clean ups”, but there remains no clear answer. Accurate costs are hard to calculate due to the logistics involved across various departments and the involvement of multiple personnel, contractors and equipment. This project’s research team requested scores of documents through the Colorado Open Records Act (CORA) to analyze invoice and email content, reviewed dozens of news sources, followed local political discussions, visited encampments, spoke to encampment residents and people who were on site for “clean ups” and reviewed multiple videos and photographs. We conducted an in-depth analysis of seven displacements, ranging in size, season, cost and location.

The result has a lot of us wondering how to move forward and prevent devastating events like the deaths of George Floyd (https://www.cnn.com/videos/us/2020/05/31/george- floyd-police-car-video-vpx.cnn), Breonna Taylor (https://www.nytimes.com/article/breonna-taylor-police.html) and Ahmaud Arbery (https://www.firstcoastnews.com/article/news/local/what-you-need-to-know-about-the-shooting-death-of-ahmaud-arbery-in-brunswick-ga/77-d5836433-27f8-47fb-8096- bd7cfeb05007). Thousands have put feet to the pavement for five straight nights to vocalize their frustration, though some have resulted in tension from local law enforcement. On Sunday, May 31, the Denver Police arrested over 170 people (https://303magazine.com/2020/06/denver-curfew-extended-friday/). It is important, now more than ever, to stand up for our neighbors and understand the role that systematic racism plays in our city. In 2019, Ibram X.

    Other School Districts Across the Nation, Much of the Drop Is Due to Preschoolers and Kindergarteners Deciding Not to Enroll

    COMMUNICATIONS STATEMENTS Statement on the Events of January 6, 2021: A New Day of Infamy on Behalf of the Nation’s Urban Public School Leaders By the Council of the Great City Schools School leaders, teachers, and educators from the nation’s urban public schools condemn the actions of the violent rioters who stormed and desecrated the Capitol at the encouragement of our president and his enablers. Make no mistake—this was not only an attack on the Capitol building, but on democracy itself. Citizens of the world are watching this display of lawlessness with shock and horror as the world’s beacon of civility—the shining “city upon a hill”—is reduced to a crime scene. Public school educators everywhere teach our children to respect our leaders, our institutions, and the process by which we as a nation choose our representatives, and we weep now at the loss of innocence and trust these events have wrought. Defiling our capitol and disrupting the work of the people’s House and Senate in an effort to overturn a free and fair election is a betrayal of our founding principles. Unfortunately, we are in this position because our president has lied repeatedly to the American public about who won this election and has promoted the treasonous notion that people should take matters into their own hands in attempting what is nothing short of insurrection. As we struggle to help our children understand how this happened and what it means, we should be clear about our collective outrage and our commitment to restoring peace and democracy in the months and years to come.

    New Colorado College President Named

    For Immediate Release Contact: Leslie Weddell (719) 389-6038 [email protected] L. SONG RICHARDSON APPOINTED 14th PRESIDENT OF COLORADO COLLEGE UC Irvine School of Law dean assumes role on July 1 COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Dec. 9, 2020 – The Colorado College Board of Trustees today appointed L. Song Richardson the 14th president of Colorado College following a unanimous vote. Richardson, currently the dean and chancellor’s professor of law at University of California Irvine School of Law, will succeed President Jill Tiefenthaler, who led CC for nine years. Richardson is a legal scholar and lawyer whose research focuses on implicit racial and gender bias. She became UC Irvine School of Law’s dean and chancellor’s professor of law in January 2018, and at that time was the only woman of color to lead a top-30 law school. Her presidency at Colorado College will begin on July 1, 2021. “Dean Richardson embodies the curiosity, dedication, spirit, commitment and joy that are the essence of CC,” said Susie Burghart, chair of the board of trustees and a 1977 Colorado College graduate. “She is authentic and accessible, a scholar committed to building the resiliency, depth and breadth of students, and a changemaker who will shift CC and our future graduates forward on the path toward antiracism, access and even greater academic excellence.” Richardson said she was drawn to Colorado College because of its people, its sense of purpose, and its commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion, increasing access for students, sustainability and innovation. “I never dreamed that I would be leaving UCI Law, a community that I adore and a school that has achieved unprecedented success in less than 11 years of existence,” Richardson said.
